Jenny Yang's Smartass Answers for Your Dumbass Questions

"Actually, I'm not that good at math."



Boom. Last month, BuzzFeed put a call out on Facebook for questions to use in a video feature called "Ask an Asian," in which our friend comedian Jenny Yang would answer people's questions about Asian Americans. They received almost 7,000 submissions, and a large bulk of the questions were less than spectacular.

So much ignorance out there. But hey, might as well turn all of that stupidity into fodder for a video. "Ask An Asian" has dropped, and Jenny's got lots of smartass answers for your dumbass questions. It's delightful.

BuzzFeed turned to Facebook for questions to "Ask An Asian." You can probably guess what happened.

I suppose this was inevitable. My good friend, comedian Jenny Yang is teaming up with BuzzFeed to produce an upcoming video called "Ask An Asian," in which she answers questions -- no doubt, with smarts and sass -- about Asian Americans. You know, the stuff you've always wanted to know, but maybe were afraid to ask.

Naturally, to gather some ideas to get them started, BuzzFeed Video posted a call for questions on its Facebook page. "Please reply in the comments with questions you have for Asians-Americans." Naturally, the comments were flooded with a truckload of predictably dumbass, ridiculous and/or racist questions.

Like I said, inevitable. Here is just a tiny sampling:
